All members of the academic community at Coppin State University are expected to practice and uphold standards of academic integrity and honesty. Academic integrity means representing oneself and one's work honestly. Misrepresentation is cheating since it means the student is claiming credit for ideas or work not actually his or her own and is thereby seeking a grade that is not actually earned.

All academic misconduct allegations are forwarded to the Vice President of Student Affairs Office and adhere to the student judicial system.
